18/19 Kick-off in Australia & New Zealand

    It's dumping in New Zealand and the 18/19 season is about to kick off. We're stoked to announce that our 18/19 line up is available in stores now! Check out our full list of retailers to find your closest Faction store.

    To test our newest range we have ski demos planned across all of NZ and Australia. Keep an eye on our Facebook events page to see what’s happening on your local mountain.

    The 18/19 season is going to be special: we’ve teamed up with selected partners to organise film screenings of our new full-feature, THIS IS HOME, where you'll be able to see Faction riders like Candide Thovex, Johnny Collinson and Antti Ollila throwing down on the big screen.

    Support your shop, buy local and be one of the first to get your hands on fresh 18/19 gear.
